Most Moronic comment of the Week

The fact that he acts like any young lad of his age is one of the most endearing things about him

That was a comment relating to a the scene below.

Yes, that is a Prince of the United Kingdom falling over drunk, after brawling with a Paparazzo.

Now, let's get a couple of things straight. The third in line to the throne of this Kingdom, is certainly not an 'ordinary guy'. Obviously the Royals are human beings, and like all humans they err from time to time. Nonetheless, a position of such responsibility requires a certain level of decorum; a concept which seems alien to Prince Harry.

Secondly, is this really the way 'any' young lad would behave? Actually, it's the sort of behaviour which gets blamed by politicians for creating 'no-go areas', in our cities. The only difference is that one situation involves working-class youngsters, the other a Hooray Henry.

Finally, it's certainly plausible that Harry could be King one day, even if it is a little unlikely. And I, for one, do not wish this Kingdom to be ruled by someone who has regularly behaved like a drunken moron. Am I really asking for too much?
